Namibia

Namibia is one of the least densely populated countries in the world (second only to Mongolia). It is a vast country so exploring the different regions requires covering long distances. We decided to self-drive and at times we would drive for hours without seeing another vehicle. The road network is extensive but consists mostly of gravel roads and sometimes even sand. We hired a four-wheel drive, packed lots of water and snacks and set off for 10 days in Namibia. In total, we covered 2,300 km on our road trip.
